On July 2, 2016, Chris and Courtney were in Presque Isle, Michigan celebrating the fourth of July with family. Chris took Courtney to see fireworks at Presque Isle lighthouse and to see the sunset over North Bay on Lake Huron. Chris and Courtney visited North Bay on their first trip upnorth together, 8 years ago. Chris played it cool, like they were going to film a bright orange sunset over the bay with a drone. The drone however seemed to be misbehaving it circled above Courtney; Chris worried the battery may be dying, he ran back for a new battery (and the ring). Upon returning, Courtney didn't want to hold the drone controller anymore, for fear of breaking it so Chris said "I'll trade you" and got down on one knee! Chris said: "Will you marry me?", Courtney replied: "Yes .... thank you!"
